Old Hill Branch Review Our branch at Old Hill is closing on 26 May 2021. What you need to know We’ve looked carefully at our Old Hill branch at 217 Halesowen Road, Old Hill, B64 6JQ and how it is used, and we’ve taken the decision to close it. The way customers bank with us is rapidly evolving with the vast majority of everyday transactions now being done digitally. Over 2.1 million of our customers now choose to bank online, and over 1.3 million use our Mobile Banking App. Even prior to COVID-19 customers were choosing other ways to bank with us, with 50% using services at our cash machines, and 20% using a Post Office®. Over 190,000 customers have been supported through our new online chat service, helping them with queries and other services. 67% of all our customers are now using mobile, online or telephone banking, and at this branch 74% of our personal and 85% of our business customers, now choose to use another branch or channel instead. We need to make sure our branches meet the current and future needs of our customers, and TSB remains committed to face to face services in branch through a network that covers the whole country. In the West Midlands we will still have 16 branches serving 344,792 customers. This Branch Review explains how we can support you through the changes and the alternative services you can use.
